Melania Trump’s Inauguration Outfits and the Story Behind Them

Melania Trump has officially taken the reins as FLOTUS. She follows Michelle Obama, who championed young American designers during her time in the White House, leaving the fashion world to wonder what’s in store.

Melania kicked off the inauguration in looks that are certainly punctuated with meaning, opting for Ralph Lauren’s blue cashmere for this morning’s ceremony — a coat in a ’60s silhouette that conjures images of Jackie Kennedy — and finishing the day in a trendy piece she cocreated with Hervé Pierre.
